Fatigue isn't going to last, they don't have the technical capabilities or the design possibilities to implement such a system without a massive loss of interest in jump capable ships. Pilots can train all skills to be flexible, fatigue takes a sledgehammer to being able to do multiple activities that involve jumping.

Reducing the dominance/dependence on capitals is the whole idea. I guess they figure more people will stay subbed/resub with the changes then they will lose in the "unsubbing cappilots".

My alliance is like 60 dudes and we regularly drop caps/supers on anything shiny with 20 jumps of us every day. It's lame content and it discourages anyone from undocking in anything beyond Ishtars or t3s. Groups like PL and NC. do exactly the same thing but with far,far more resources and numbers.

Getting people out flying ships that are actually fun to fly might actually get people back in the game.

Last week SYJ, Nulli Secunda, and Gentlemens club came to our home system with a 70 man fleet of mostly T3 and AHAC cruisers.

We engaged them with a 17 man fleet of t3, a single Archon, and 2 Bhaalgorns. We killed 24 ships and lost nothing. Was one of the most intense engagements i've had in an mmo.

Here is the enemy perspective/coms. They took it off youtube after realizing how shit it makes them look but we saved it.

This is from our pilots perspective starting about half way in.

Feels like they are now, few years later, doing all the things I wished they did so long ago. Freighter for fitted BS and smaller? Shit I remember asking about that on their forums 5 years ago.

A dozen devs leave, suddenly get everything you ever asked for. Coincidence?
But all the good devs are leaving for Riot it's a disaster!

No details yet, but apparently we are getting some new "glass cannon" wep that puts all your resistances to zero. Not a big fan of this as it could be annoying as fuck to see people like brave bring 150 glass cannon merlins to a fight.

edit: nvm it's apparently going to be expensive and require t2 guns.

EVE has sound?
BZZZWCHOOOOOOOOOOO-WOOOOOOOOOSH----PEWWWWWWWWW-PEWWWWW - "WARPING" - "THE CAPACITOR...IS EMPTY" - Kaboom!

I got the 10 day re-try thing for industrial changes. I like the industrial changes a lot and the infinite skill queue makes me more inclined to hang around this time. I'm not sure what to do this go. I may try to figure out how to get into incursions or join a corp and be unlazy.

I'll second the poster above in that the sound is the only thing I really miss about the game. Well that, and reading about the drama. There's a pretty decent eve themed spotify playlist.

So pheobe came with all it's changes. Even in lowsec it's really changed up the meta game.

Apparently we are getting rid of clone upgrades! no Sp loss!

pretty happy with the direction CCP has taken the game recently.
